Description

Late Capitalist Fascism explores a disturbing idea: what if fascism didn't disappear after World War II, but has evolved into a more diffuse and insidious form that permeates our societies.

The author argues that late capitalism has created hollowed-out subjectivities that provide a fertile ground for a new kind of fascist ideology. This diffuse fascism is fueled by the fear of being left behind and losing out, leading to resentment towards those perceived as threats to national communities.

By examining both the overt and diffuse forms of fascism, we can better understand how to combat this threat effectively and prevent the slide into barbarism.
